[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 629912, member: 2175"] I think you'd have a tough sales job convincing people that stating the obvious is throwing a player under the bus. I just don't buy it. (Really, did you expect him to say the fumble was all his fault, mea culpa? I can't count the times a coach has made some reference to scoring except for a fumble, an interception, wrong hole, etc. I never considered that tossing a player under the bus and never saw them accused of it.) That's just not a serious example. As for the defense I guess I will have to find the tape and get the exact quote and context. Did he say, that is, to "watch what the players did wrong" or did he say "Watch the tape and see for yourself?" I think this business is really about personal coaching preferences and comfort. Johnson didn't bother me as I played for several coaches in multiple sports made of the same stuff. I can grant he bothered others, so one size does not fit all. I played point guard (HS) on a team that won a district championship one year and a state championship the next, and the coach gave me exactly one compliment, one, and that was years later at a reunion. He balanced that earlier by benching me to get my head turned around. I will ignore the Oliver part since I am not a fan. [/QUOTE]
